SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,596, dated October 12, 1886.

. Application filed February 11,1886. Serial No. 191,555. (No model.)

To all whom it may concept.- l

Be it known that I, RrvnRrUs MARSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Faucets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and forming a part of this specification. My invention relates'to improvements in faucets to be applied to oil-cans, lamp-fillers,

tanks, and vother vessels.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap and durable device for lling lamps, cans, and other vessels, and for drawing oil or other iiuids from vessels.

Figure lis a central vertical section of my invention, showing the interior construction. Fig. 2 is a view in section ofthe valve.

A, Fig. l, represents the shell or body of the faucet, which I preferably make of spun or drawn metal. At the bottom it has an inward-turning iiange, as shown at B. At the top it is drawn in slightly and circles outward a short distance, asshown at C, the object being described hereinafter.

D is ashell placed on the top of the body A. This shell is made of spun or drawn metal, and is made square at the center to receive a nut. It extends up a short distance, thence outward, thence downward, thence `upward again, and circles outward to the edge of the body A. and forms a bead, D.

E is a cap-shell whichcovers the shell D and the top of the body A. It is spun or drawn up, and is iiat near the center where it covers the nut,the lower surface being slightly grooved or corrugated. It then rises up a n short distance and down again, forming a bead,

E, thence circling outward and downward and under the edge of the shell D` and top edge of the body A, as shown at F. The three edges are crimped or seamed together, forming a tight joint and holding the nut in position, also forming an airchamber, F, between the shells D and F, the object of the air-chamber being described hereinafter. The shells D and E are ribbed where they come in contact with the upper and lower side ofthe nut near the screw-rod, by which means air passes to and from the air-chamber F', as shown at G. dare ribs on shell D, and e similar ribs on shell E. f

H is a nut held in position by theF shells D and E.

I is a valve screw-rod, made ofiron or other suitable metal. It has a thumb-piece, J, on the upper end and an enlarged tapering head, K, on the lower end,which revolves inside the tapering projections on the upper side of the valve when the screw-rod I'is turned.

L is a valve composed of two shells, or a shell and washer or packing. The upper or top part of the valve-shell is spun up out of one piece `of metal. pering ring corresponding inl shape to the head K, inside of which the head revolves, as shown. The center of the shell below the head isclosed, and it extends a short distance outside the tapering ring and rises up at' the outer edge, and is turned over and-down, forming nearly ahalf-circle. The lower shell, washer, or packing is made flat in the center, and with au upward-rising liange at the outward edge, said iiange fitting into the halfcircle on the upper shell, and is crimped or swaged to it, making a firm and durable valve.

M is a packingplaced under the'inward# turning iiange at the bottom of the body A.

N is an oil-can or other vessel having an upward-rising tube or flange, N', which is turned over on the inwardiiange B on the bottom of the body A, and is firmly 'pressed or turned down on it, making a tight joint, and also forming a valve-seat.I

It has an upwardrising taf O is a spout or nozzle, made of metal and secured in the usual manner.

I do not confine myself to the exact form of the shell composing the air chamber, as other forms may be used. The object of the air-chamber is to prevent the oil sp urting out at the vent when the can is quickly turned to or over on one side and the valve opened, (which is an objection to other forms of vents) the oil spurts into the air-chamber and returns again into the faucet, allowing the air to freely pass into the faucet and can.

My invention has other advantages. The shells D and F, forming an air-chamber and IOO encircling` the nut H and holding it in position, also seal the iop edge of the body A.

The faucet being made without solder, it lessens the cost of making one half and makes a more desirable article.

A screw with a turning `[lange may be used in place of the rising` tube or llange N', and it may be screwed on an ordinary oil-can having a corresponding screw, or it may be soldered to a {lat-top or other can, as desired.

Having i'nlly described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent 1. ln a faucet, the body A, having spout O, inward flange B at the bottom and circling flange C at the top, shell D, shell E, nut H, valve-rod I, and valve L, substantially as described.

2. ln a faucet, the shells D and E, @linchamber F', nut H, Vent G, valveaod I, and valve L, in combination with the body A, spout O, flange B, packing M, and valve-seat N', substantially as shown and described.

3. In a'aucet, the combination of the following parts: the body A, having spout O, inward flange B at the bottom and circling flange Cat the top. shells D and E, air-chamber F, nut H, vent G, Valve screw-rod I, having thumb-piece J on one end and head K ou the other end, valve L, packing H, and flange and valve scatN', all constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described.
